They quickly rose to national prominence, first with their popular nightclub act, then as stars of their NBC radio program The Martin and Lewis Show. In 1950 they signed with NBC to be one of a series of weekly rotating hosts of The Colgate Comedy Hour, a live Sunday evening broadcast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e By 1951, with an appearance at the Paramount Theater, they were a cultural phenomenon, attracting crowds rivaled only by Frank Sinatra earlier and later by Elvis Presley and The Beatles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Between 1950 until their breakup in 1956 they starred in fourteen movies. Their films were consistent financial successes for Paramount and hugely popular with audiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After a successful show singing on stage, the first time he had sung alone on stage since he was five years old, at his wife's pleading, he used his own money to record songs on a single. Decca Records heard it, liked it and insisted he record an album for them. The single of Rock-a-Bye Your Baby went to #10 and the album Jerry Lewis Just Sings went to #3 on the Billboard charts, staying near the top for four months and selling a million and a half copies. He released several albums as a singer, selling millions of records. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After his breakup with Martin Lewis lauched his solo career as a filmmaker and comedian. In 1959, a contract between Paramount and Jerry Lewis Productions was signed specifying a payment of $10 million plus 60% of the profits for 14 films over seven years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This contract made Lewis the highest paid individual Hollywood talent to date and was unprecedented in that he had unlimited creative control, including final cut and the return of film rights after 30 years. Lewis' clout and box office were so strong (his films had already earned Paramount $100 million in rentals) that Barney Balaban, head of production at Paramount at that time, told the press, \"If Jerry wants to burn down the studio I'll give him the match!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Throughout the 1960's he continued to make movies and in 1962 took on being the guest host on \"The Tonight Show\" during the transition from Jack Paar to Johnny Carson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e From the 1970's through the 2010's continued to star in movies, work as a director, producer and screenwriter. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lewis was also a world-renowned humanitarian, philanthropist and \"number one volunteer\" who supported fundraising for research into muscular dystrophy. Throughout his career, he raised awareness for muscular dystrophy, while as national chairman of the Muscular Dystrophy Association. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In late 1966, the live annual Labor Day event of The Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon (also referred to as Jerry Lewis Extra Special Special, Jerry Lewis Super Show and Jerry Lewis Stars Across America) debuted in syndication and would air each year. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For decades, the broadcast originated from different locations including New York, Las Vegas and Hollywood and was the most successful fundraising event in the history of television. The show, with Lewis as its iconic host and emcee and help from a legion of top celebrities and entertainers, raised billions of dollars during the years. In 1977, Lewis was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the charity. In its first year, the show raised over $1 million. In his lifetime Lewis raised an estimated $2.6 billion in donations for the cause.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lewis was also known for his friendship with Sammy Davis Jr.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur new Celebrity Collection:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I'm excited to have recently launched a new collection that is composed of 41 watches owned by 22 iconic celebrities.

This classic Bulova Accutron was personally owned and worn by \"The King\", Elvis Presley.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, Elvis Aaron Presley was not only the leading figure of the newly popular rock and roll, he was a cultural catalyst that forever changed the face of American pop culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e He fueled an acceptance of black culture, and pioneered the vastly expanded reach of celebrity in the era of mass communication: at the age of 21, within a year of his first appearance on American network television, he was regarded as one of the most famous people in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e To this day, Elvis remains the best-selling solo artist of all time, with sales estimates ranging from 600 million to 1 billion sales.

They are remarkable watches with a fascinating story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Accutron was so accurate that NASA asked Bulova if they could use the technology for timing for new satellites and for timekeeping in their spacecraft. The U.S. government even asked Bulova to delay the release of their cutting edge new watches for fear the technology might fall into the hands of the Russians.

One of their special offerings to their discriminating clients was a line of watches emblazoned with the Asprey name on the dial. Although the maker's name was often hidden, the retailer contracted with a number of the world's fine watch and jewelry making firms to produce these treasured timepieces, just like the practice followed by Tiffany and Cartier.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This rare and distinctive Asprey was owned and worn by Mr. Lewis, who had a strong preference - perhaps an exclusive preference - for midsize watches.

It comes with the band and buckle that was on it when we acquired it installed. Interestingly the buckle is an original 18K gold Cartier deployment clasp (buckles like these sell for about $1,000 alone).

They quickly rose to national prominence, first with their popular nightclub act, then as stars of their NBC radio program The Martin and Lewis Show. In 1950 they signed with NBC to be one of a series of weekly rotating hosts of The Colgate Comedy Hour, a live Sunday evening broadcast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e By 1951, with an appearance at the Paramount Theater, they were a cultural phenomenon, attracting crowds rivaled only by Frank Sinatra earlier and later by Elvis Presley and The Beatles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Between 1950 until their breakup in 1956 they starred in fourteen movies. Their films were consistent financial successes for Paramount and hugely popular with audiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After a successful show singing on stage, the first time he had sung alone on stage since he was five years old, at his wife's pleading, he used his own money to record songs on a single. Decca Records heard it, liked it and insisted he record an album for them. The single of Rock-a-Bye Your Baby went to #10 and the album Jerry Lewis Just Sings went to #3 on the Billboard charts, staying near the top for four months and selling a million and a half copies. He released several albums as a singer, selling millions of records. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After his breakup with Martin, Lewis launched his solo career as a filmmaker and comedian. In 1959, a contract between Paramount and Jerry Lewis Productions was signed specifying a payment of $10 million plus 60% of the profits for 14 films over seven years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This contract made Lewis the highest paid individual Hollywood talent to date and was unprecedented in that he had unlimited creative control, including final cut and the return of film rights after 30 years. Lewis' clout and box office were so strong (his films had already earned Paramount $100 million in rentals) that Barney Balaban, head of production at Paramount at that time, told the press, \"If Jerry wants to burn down the studio I'll give him the match!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Throughout the 1960's he continued to make movies and in 1962 took on being the guest host on \"The Tonight Show\" during the transition from Jack Paar to Johnny Carson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e From the 1970's through the 2010's he continued to star in movies, work as a director, producer and screenwriter. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lewis was also a world-renowned humanitarian, philanthropist and \"number one volunteer\" who supported fundraising for research into muscular dystrophy. Throughout his career, he raised awareness for muscular dystrophy, while as national chairman of the Muscular Dystrophy Association. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In late 1966, the live annual Labor Day event of The Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon (also referred to as Jerry Lewis Extra Special Special, Jerry Lewis Super Show and Jerry Lewis Stars Across America) debuted in syndication and would air each year. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For decades, the broadcast originated from different locations including New York, Las Vegas and Hollywood and was the most successful fundraising event in the history of television. The show, with Lewis as its iconic host and emcee and help from a legion of top celebrities and entertainers, raised billions of dollars during the years. In 1977, Lewis was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the charity. In its first year, the show raised over $1 million. In his lifetime Lewis raised an estimated $2.6 billion in donations for the cause.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lewis was also known for his friendship with Sammy Davis Jr.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eConnoisseur of Time Celebrity Collection:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I'm excited to have recently launched a new collection that is composed of 44 watches owned by 26 iconic celebrities.

They quickly rose to national prominence, first with their popular nightclub act, then as stars of their NBC radio program The Martin and Lewis Show. In 1950 they signed with NBC to be one of a series of weekly rotating hosts of The Colgate Comedy Hour, a live Sunday evening broadcast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e By 1951, with an appearance at the Paramount Theater, they were a cultural phenomenon, attracting crowds rivaled only by Frank Sinatra earlier and later by Elvis Presley and The Beatles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Between 1950 until their breakup in 1956 they starred in fourteen movies. Their films were consistent financial successes for Paramount and hugely popular with audiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After a successful show singing on stage, the first time he had sung alone on stage since he was five years old, at his wife's pleading, he used his own money to record songs on a single. Decca Records heard it, liked it and insisted he record an album for them. The single of Rock-a-Bye Your Baby went to #10 and the album Jerry Lewis Just Sings went to #3 on the Billboard charts, staying near the top for four months and selling a million and a half copies. He released several albums as a singer, selling millions of records. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After his breakup with Martin, Lewis launched his solo career as a filmmaker and comedian. In 1959, a contract between Paramount and Jerry Lewis Productions was signed specifying a payment of $10 million plus 60% of the profits for 14 films over seven years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This contract made Lewis the highest paid individual Hollywood talent to date and was unprecedented in that he had unlimited creative control, including final cut and the return of film rights after 30 years. Lewis' clout and box office were so strong (his films had already earned Paramount $100 million in rentals) that Barney Balaban, head of production at Paramount at that time, told the press, \"If Jerry wants to burn down the studio I'll give him the match!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Throughout the 1960's he continued to make movies and in 1962 took on being the guest host on \"The Tonight Show\" during the transition from Jack Paar to Johnny Carson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e From the 1970's through the 2010's he continued to star in movies, work as a director, producer and screenwriter. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lewis was also a world-renowned humanitarian, philanthropist and \"number one volunteer\" who supported fundraising for research into muscular dystrophy. Throughout his career, he raised awareness for muscular dystrophy, while as national chairman of the Muscular Dystrophy Association. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In late 1966, the live annual Labor Day event of The Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon (also referred to as Jerry Lewis Extra Special Special, Jerry Lewis Super Show and Jerry Lewis Stars Across America) debuted in syndication and would air each year. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For decades, the broadcast originated from different locations including New York, Las Vegas and Hollywood and was the most successful fundraising event in the history of television. The show, with Lewis as its iconic host and emcee and help from a legion of top celebrities and entertainers, raised billions of dollars during the years. In 1977, Lewis was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the charity. In its first year, the show raised over $1 million. In his lifetime Lewis raised an estimated $2.6 billion in donations for the cause.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lewis was also known for his friendship with Sammy Davis Jr.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" data-mce-style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eConnoisseur of Time Celebrity Collection:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I'm excited to have recently launched a new collection that is composed of 44 watches owned by 26 iconic celebrities.

They quickly rose to national prominence, first with their popular nightclub act, then as stars of their NBC radio program The Martin and Lewis Show. In 1950 they signed with NBC to be one of a series of weekly rotating hosts of The Colgate Comedy Hour, a live Sunday evening broadcast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e By 1951, with an appearance at the Paramount Theater, they were a cultural phenomenon, attracting crowds rivaled only by Frank Sinatra earlier and later by Elvis Presley and The Beatles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Between 1950 until their breakup in 1956 they starred in fourteen movies. Their films were consistent financial successes for Paramount and hugely popular with audiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After a successful show singing on stage, the first time he had sung alone on stage since he was five years old, at his wife's pleading, he used his own money to record songs on a single. Decca Records heard it, liked it and insisted he record an album for them. The single of Rock-a-Bye Your Baby went to #10 and the album Jerry Lewis Just Sings went to #3 on the Billboard charts, staying near the top for four months and selling a million and a half copies. He released several albums as a singer, selling millions of records. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After his breakup with Martin, Lewis launched his solo career as a filmmaker and comedian. In 1959, a contract between Paramount and Jerry Lewis Productions was signed specifying a payment of $10 million plus 60% of the profits for 14 films over seven years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This contract made Lewis the highest paid individual Hollywood talent to date and was unprecedented in that he had unlimited creative control, including final cut and the return of film rights after 30 years. Lewis' clout and box office were so strong (his films had already earned Paramount $100 million in rentals) that Barney Balaban, head of production at Paramount at that time, told the press, \"If Jerry wants to burn down the studio I'll give him the match!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Throughout the 1960's he continued to make movies and in 1962 took on being the guest host on \"The Tonight Show\" during the transition from Jack Paar to Johnny Carson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e From the 1970's through the 2010's he continued to star in movies, work as a director, producer and screenwriter. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lewis was also a world-renowned humanitarian, philanthropist and \"number one volunteer\" who supported fundraising for research into muscular dystrophy. Throughout his career, he raised awareness for muscular dystrophy, while as national chairman of the Muscular Dystrophy Association. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In late 1966, the live annual Labor Day event of The Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon (also referred to as Jerry Lewis Extra Special Special, Jerry Lewis Super Show and Jerry Lewis Stars Across America) debuted in syndication and would air each year. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For decades, the broadcast originated from different locations including New York, Las Vegas and Hollywood and was the most successful fundraising event in the history of television. The show, with Lewis as its iconic host and emcee and help from a legion of top celebrities and entertainers, raised billions of dollars during the years. In 1977, Lewis was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the charity. In its first year, the show raised over $1 million. In his lifetime Lewis raised an estimated $2.6 billion in donations for the cause.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lewis was also known for his friendship with Sammy Davis Jr.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Connoisseur of Time Celebrity Collection:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I'm excited to have recently launched a new collection that is composed of 44 watches owned by 26 iconic celebrities.

One of their special offerings to their discriminating clients was a line of watches emblazoned with the Asprey name on the dial. Although the maker's name was often hidden, the retailer contracted with a number of the world's fine watch and jewelry making firms to produce these treasured timepieces, just like the practice followed by Tiffany and Cartier.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This rare and distinctive Asprey was owned and worn by Mr. Lewis, who had a strong preference - perhaps an exclusive preference - for midsize watches. At times he wore ladies model watches, and all of the watches we have seen and purchased from his estate were all midsized or women's size watches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Like on the Cartier Tank Americaine and Tiffany watches we sold of Mr. Lewis', this watch also features a white Roman dial and 18K gold case. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It has all of its original parts and is in pleasing condition, and we have left the case unpolished just as we received it.

They quickly rose to national prominence, first with their popular nightclub act, then as stars of their NBC radio program The Martin and Lewis Show. In 1950 they signed with NBC to be one of a series of weekly rotating hosts of The Colgate Comedy Hour, a live Sunday evening broadcast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e By 1951, with an appearance at the Paramount Theater, they were a cultural phenomenon, attracting crowds rivaled only by Frank Sinatra earlier and later by Elvis Presley and The Beatles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Between 1950 until their breakup in 1956 they starred in fourteen movies. Their films were consistent financial successes for Paramount and hugely popular with audiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After a successful show singing on stage, the first time he had sung alone on stage since he was five years old, at his wife's pleading, he used his own money to record songs on a single. Decca Records heard it, liked it, and insisted he record an album for them. The single of Rock-a-Bye Your Baby went to #10 and the album Jerry Lewis Just Sings went to #3 on the Billboard charts, staying near the top for four months and selling a million and a half copies. He released several albums as a singer, selling millions of records. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After his breakup with Martin Lewis launched his solo career as a filmmaker and comedian. In 1959, a contract between Paramount and Jerry Lewis Productions was signed specifying a payment of $10 million plus 60% of the profits for 14 films over seven years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This contract made Lewis the highest paid individual Hollywood talent to date and was unprecedented in that he had unlimited creative control, including final cut and the return of film rights after 30 years. Lewis' clout and box office were so strong (his films had already earned Paramount $100 million in rentals) that Barney Balaban, head of production at Paramount at that time, told the press, \"If Jerry wants to burn down the studio I'll give him the match!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Throughout the 1960's he continued to make movies and in 1962 took on being the guest host on \"The Tonight Show\" during the transition from Jack Paar to Johnny Carson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e From the 1970's through the 2010's continued to star in movies, work as a director, producer and screenwriter. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lewis was also a world-renowned humanitarian, philanthropist and \"number one volunteer\" who supported fundraising for research into muscular dystrophy. Throughout his career, he raised awareness for muscular dystrophy, while as national chairman of the Muscular Dystrophy Association. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In late 1966, the live annual Labor Day event of The Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon (also referred to as Jerry Lewis Extra Special Special, Jerry Lewis Super Show and Jerry Lewis Stars Across America) debuted in syndication and would air each year. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For decades, the broadcast originated from different locations including New York, Las Vegas, and Hollywood, and was the most successful fundraising event in the history of television. The show, with Lewis as its iconic host and emcee and help from a legion of top celebrities and entertainers, raised billions of dollars during the years. In 1977, Lewis was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the charity. In its first year, the show raised over $1 million. In his lifetime Lewis raised an estimated $2.6 billion in donations for the cause.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lewis was also known for his friendship with Sammy Davis Jr.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur new Celebrity Collection:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I'm excited to have launched a collection that is composed of 68 watches owned by 36 iconic celebrities and public figures.

The U.S. government even asked Bulova to delay the release of their cutting edge new watches for fear the technology might fall into the hands of the Russians.

The American Film Institute in 1999 ranked Garbo fifth on its list of the greatest female stars of classic Hollywood cinema.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Three times Garbo was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress and twice received the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actress. In a 1950 Daily Variety opinion poll, Garbo was voted \"Best Actress of the Half Century\", and in 1957, she was given The George Eastman Award, awarded by George Eastman House for distinguished contribution to the art of film. She also received many other distinctions and honors, including in her native Sweden.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Known for her melancholic, somber persona, her portrayals of tragic characters, and her subtle and understated performances, Garbo captivated audiences worldwide with her unparalleled talent and charisma.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Garbo began her career with a minor role in the 1924 Swedish film The Saga of Gösta Berling, but it was her performance in Flesh and the Devil (1927), her third movie, that made her an international star. Her success caught the attention of Louis B. Mayer, chief executive of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), who brought her to Hollywood in 1925. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Garbo went on to star in many well-known silent films, including The Mysterious Lady (1928) and The Kiss (1929). Her transition to sound films was marketed with the tagline \"Garbo talks!\" for her first sound film, Anna Christie (1930), and her performances in this film and Romance earned her the first of three Academy Award nominations for Best Actress. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Throughout the 1930s, Garbo continued to star in successful films such as Mata Hari (1931), Susan Lenox (Her Fall and Rise) (1931), Grand Hotel (1932), Queen Christina (1933), and Anna Karenina (1935). Her performance as the doomed courtesan Marguerite Gautier in Camille (1936) is considered by many critics and film historians to be her finest, and it earned her a second Academy Award nomination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e She retired from the screen at only 35 years old after acting in 28 films. In 1954, Garbo was awarded an Academy Honorary Award for her luminous and unforgettable screen performances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After retiring from acting, Garbo became an art collector and shunned publicity while leading a private life. Her paintings included works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Pierre Bonnard, and Kees van Dongen. She remained an enduring cultural icon, inspiring new generations of filmmakers and audiences alike with her legendary performances and enigmatic persona.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Despite her reputation for reclusiveness, she is said to have had many friends with whom she socialized and traveled. During her long retirement, she walked the streets of New York City, dressed informally, and wore large sunglasses. \"Garbo-watching\" became a sport for the media, admirers, and inquisitive New Yorkers, yet she held on to her elusive mystique to the end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Garbo's legacy as one of the greatest actresses of all time continues to be celebrated today, and her impact on the world of film and popular culture is a testament to her talent and enduring appeal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur new Celebrity Collection:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I'm excited to have launched a collection that is composed of 72 watches owned or worn by 38 iconic celebrities and public figures.

With a career that spanned an incredible nine decades, Rooney appeared in over 300 films and stood as one of the last surviving stars of the silent-film era. His remarkable talent and enduring popularity made him the top box-office attraction from 1939 to 1941, firmly establishing him as one of the best-paid actors of that era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Rooney's ascent to stardom came during his teenage years, where he became a fixture at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and delivered crowd-pleasing performances in a variety of roles. In the 1930s and 1940s, he portrayed the lovable character Andy Hardy in a series of 16 films, which came to epitomize the mainstream self-image of the United States. During this peak period of his career, from the ages of 15 to 25, Rooney appeared in an impressive 43 films, securing his position as one of MGM's most consistently successful actors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Known for his versatility, Rooney's talent transcended the confines of youthful roles, and he evolved into a celebrated character actor in his later years. His brilliance as an actor earned him high praise from his peers, with acclaimed actor Laurence Olivier proclaiming Rooney as \"the best there has ever been.\" Renowned director Clarence Brown, who worked with Rooney on films like National Velvet and The Human Comedy, went so far as to declare him \"the closest thing to a genius\" he had ever encountered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Rooney's outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment did not go unnoticed. In 1982, he was honored with a Golden Globe Award and an Emmy Award for his exceptional portrayal of the title role in the television movie Bill. The same year, he received the esteemed Academy Honorary Award, recognizing his extraordinary career and contributions to the film industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Rooney's journey into show business began in Vaudeville as a child actor, and at the tender age of six, he made his film debut. From the ages of seven to 13, he starred as the title character in the immensely popular \"Mickey McGuire\" series of 78 short films. At 14 and 15, Rooney took on the iconic role of Puck in the theatrical production and subsequent film adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream. At the age of 16, he embarked on his defining role as Andy Hardy, capturing the hearts of audiences around the world. At 17, Rooney garnered critical acclaim for his portrayal of Whitey Marsh in Boys Town. His exceptional talent and dedication to his craft earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role at the young age of 19, making him the second-youngest nominee in that category. In recognition of his remarkable achievements, Rooney was also awarded a special Academy Juvenile Award in 1939.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The outbreak of World War II led to Rooney's enlistment in the military. Serving for nearly two years, he dedicated his time and talents to entertaining over two million troops on both stage and radio, ultimately earning a Bronze Star for his performances in combat zones. Upon his return in 1945, Rooney faced the challenge of transitioning from juvenile roles to adult characters. Despite his undeniable talent, his diminutive stature of 5 ft 2 in (157 cm) limited his opportunities for leading roles. Nevertheless, Rooney embraced the chance to star in a series of low-budget but critically acclaimed films noir during the 1950s, further solidifying his reputation as a versatile actor. In recognition of his outstanding performances during this period, he received Academy Award nominations for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his work in The Bold and the Brave in 1957 and The Black Stallion in 1980.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Rooney's career experienced a renaissance with notable supporting roles in films such as Requiem for a Heavyweight (1962), It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963), Pete's Dragon (1977), and The Black Stallion (1979). These roles demonstrated his enduring talent and versatility as an actor and brought him further acclaim. In the early 1980s, he made a triumphant return to Broadway in Sugar Babies, a role that earned him nominations for both a Tony Award and a Drama Desk Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Then in 1994-1995 Mr. Rooney starred in the musical Crazy For You at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto, from which his items offered here were used.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In addition to his extensive film and stage work, Rooney made a significant impact on television, making countless appearances on dramas, variety programs, and talk shows.

During this time, he also made guest appearances on various television shows, gradually making a name for himself in the industry. It was in 1961 that Chamberlain's career took a significant turn when he landed the role of Dr. James Kildare in the NBC\/MGM television series of the same name. Co-starring alongside Raymond Massey, he gained widespread fame and captured the hearts of audiences with his portrayal of the young intern.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chamberlain's talent extended beyond acting, as he possessed a remarkable singing voice. His singing abilities led to the release of several hit singles in the early 1960s, including the \"Theme from Dr. Kildare\" titled \"Three Stars Will Shine Tonight,\" which reached No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 Charts. As his popularity soared, Chamberlain embraced his multifaceted talents and continued to make waves in the entertainment industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After the conclusion of \"Dr. Kildare\" in 1966, Chamberlain ventured into the theater circuit, where he showcased his acting prowess. He took on various roles, including an ill-fated Broadway musical called \"Breakfast at Tiffany's\" in 1966, where he starred opposite Mary Tyler Moore and Priscilla Lopez. Despite the musical's unfortunate closure after only four previews, Chamberlain's commitment to his craft remained unshaken.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the late 1960s, Chamberlain decided to explore opportunities in England. His talent was quickly recognized, and he found success in repertory theater and the BBC's adaptation of \"Portrait of a Lady.\" Chamberlain's dedication to his craft and his reputation as a serious actor grew during this time. In 1969, he had the honor of starring alongside Katharine Hepburn in the film \"The Madwoman of Chaillot.\" He also took on the iconic role of Hamlet for the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, becoming the first American actor to portray the character there since John Barrymore in 1925. His remarkable performance received acclaim, leading to a televised version for the Hallmark Hall of Fame in 1970, which earned him a Grammy Award nomination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The 1970s marked a successful period for Chamberlain in film. He established himself as a leading man, starring in notable movies such as \"The Music Lovers\" (1970), \"Lady Caroline Lamb\" (1973), \"The Three Musketeers\" (1973), and \"The Count of Monte Cristo\" (1975).

Inspired by the Art Deco period, it captures the period's essence with its architecturally inspired motifs and bold, precise shape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With an updated modern feel that blends a sense of history with current style, the watch offers a number of small artistic flourishes including a unique patterned guilloche dial with a highly stylized bold, scripted numerals display. Our photos had a hard time picking up the texturing on the dial.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The cathedral-style hands further the watch’s appeal. The prominent, geometric case ensures both wrist presence and a tailored look. For further comfort, the massive rectangular case, which makes quite a statement and can't be missed on the wrist, is slightly curved so that it wraps nicely around the wrist. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e According to Gevirl, the \"Avenue of Americas timepieces have been the brand’s flagship model ever since watch industry insider Samuel Friedmann acquired the historic Swiss company in 2001.

Our photos had a hard time picking up the texturing on the dial.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The cathedral-style hands further the watch’s appeal.

Based on a case design that was discovered in Gevril’s historical archives, the iconic Avenue of Americas Collection is unmistakable. By combining a classic art deco design with sophisticated refinements like a curved anti-reflective sapphire crystal, a beautiful beveled dial and hand painted applied numbers in a variety of fashion forward colors, the Swiss made Gevril Avenue of Americas has become a modern American classic.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e One of the coolest things about the watch is that it was well-worn and loved by Mr. Sheen.

In 1952, he earned Emmy Awards for Best Comedy Program and Best Comedian, highlighting his comedic mastery and television excellence. An additional Emmy nomination in 1957 recognized his versatility with a noncomedic performance in Playhouse 90's presentation of \"The Big Slide.\" Skelton and his gifted writers secured yet another Emmy in 1961 for Outstanding Writing Achievement in Comedy, showcasing his remarkable ability to craft humor and captivate audiences. The recognition extended beyond entertainment realms, as he was named an honorary faculty member of Ringling Bros. and Barnum \u0026amp; Bailey Clown College in 1968 and 1969, solidifying his status as a revered clown figure. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSkelton's post-television recognition reached new heights in 1978, when he received the coveted Cecil B.

Further honors followed as Skelton was presented with the Academy of Television Arts \u0026amp; Sciences' Governor's Award in 1986, a heartfelt acknowledgment that prompted his characteristic humor. The Screen Actors Guild recognized his lasting impact with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 1987, while the Academy of Television Arts \u0026amp; Sciences welcomed him into the Television Hall of Fame in 1988. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAs a pioneer in comedy, Skelton's legacy was cemented with induction into the International Clown Hall of Fame in 1989, a testament to his enduring influence on the world of humor.

The year 1994 witnessed Skelton's induction into the National Radio Hall of Fame, a fitting tribute to his contributions to the airwaves. With two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, honoring his exceptional radio and television work, Skelton's impact remained etched in entertainment history. His legacy endures through the Red Skelton Museum of American Comedy, preserving his multifaceted talents for generations to come. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFrom an early age, Skelton demonstrated an innate talent for comedy and pantomime. At just ten years old, he embarked on a journey of artistic development, joining a traveling medicine show. His formative years were colored by diverse experiences, including time spent on a showboat and a venture into the world of burlesque. The stepping stones of his career path led him to vaudeville in 1934, where his comedic prowess truly began to shine.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eA pivotal moment in his career emerged with the creation of the \"Doughnut Dunkers\" pantomime sketch, a collaborative effort with his wife. This marked the turning point that launched his trajectory in vaudeville, radio, and films. Skelton's radio journey commenced in 1937, when he made a guest appearance on The Fleischmann's Yeast Hour. This pivotal moment propelled him into hosting Avalon Time in 1938, solidifying his presence in the radio world. His exceptional ability to craft comedic characters reached new heights as he took the reins of The Raleigh Cigarette Program in 1941. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSkelton's silver screen debut arrived in 1938, sharing the screen with luminaries like Ginger Rogers and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. in Alfred Santell's Having Wonderful Time. Subsequently, he graced numerous musical and comedy films throughout the 1940s and 1950s, earning starring roles in 19 films. Works like Ship Ahoy (1941), I Dood It (1943), Ziegfeld Follies (1946), and The Clown (1953) showcased his diverse talents and contributed to his cinematic legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhile television was still in its infancy, Skelton's ambition propelled him toward this burgeoning medium. The Red Skelton Show premiered on September 30, 1951, on NBC, marking a new chapter in his illustrious career. As the show evolved and flourished, it migrated to CBS in 1954, evolving into The Red Skelton Hour by 1962. Despite the show's popularity and high ratings, it met an untimely end on CBS in 1970, as the network aimed to attract a younger demographic. Skelton's resilience shone through as he took the show to NBC for its final year in 1971. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBeyond the realm of entertainment, Skelton channeled his artistic talents into a parallel career as a painter. Initially a personal hobby, his passion for painting took a transformative turn in 1964 when his wife Georgia convinced him to showcase his clown-themed artwork at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas. The response was resounding, with original pieces and reproductions generating considerable revenue. By his passing in 1997, his artistry had not only earned critical acclaim but also financial success, rivaling his earnings from television. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSkelton's life mission was simple: to bring joy through laughter. His aspirations of embodying the essence of a clown as an all-encompassing entertainer epitomize his dedication to his craft. Over the span of seven decades, he enchanted three generations of Americans with his comedic brilliance. In a testament to his enduring impact, his widow preserved his legacy by donating personal and professional artifacts to Vincennes University. These contributions form an integral part of the Red Skelton Museum of American Comedy, a fitting homage to the man who etched himself into the annals of American entertainment history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eConnoisseur of Time Celebrity Collection:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I'm excited to have launched a collection that is composed of 87 watches and clocks owned or worn by 44 iconic celebrities and public figures.

It's also possible that Mr. Sinatra gave it to his friend for his cameo appearance in the original Ocean's 11 movie, or for another favor that Red did for him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Frank Sinatra and Red Skelton shared a remarkable and enduring friendship that transcended the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. Their friendship started in the 1940s and lasted until Red passed. Their bond, forged in the entertainment industry's bustling heart, was a testament to their genuine connection and mutual respect. Sinatra, with his velvety voice and charismatic presence, found a kindred spirit in Skelton, whose comedic genius and warm-hearted nature endeared him to audiences worldwide. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Their friendship, often hidden from the spotlight, was marked by shared laughter, late-night conversations, and a deep camaraderie. Beyond the confines of the stage and screen, Sinatra and Skelton leaned on each other during life's ups and downs, finding solace and understanding in one another. In an industry known for its superficiality, their friendship stood as a beacon of authenticity, reminding us all that even in the glimmering world of showbiz, true connections are built on the foundation of shared experiences and genuine affection. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It is part of our Celebrity Collection of watches that has been featured in GQ, Revolution Watch, Europa Star, JCK, Hampton's Magazine, Gotham Magazine, Vegas Magazine, Silicon Valley magazine and many others. eBay just recently partnered with us for an exclusive, special sale for seven of the watches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The watch:\u003cbr\u003e Made from 18K gold and fitted with its original 14K gold bracelet, it has a very elegant and classic style.

Her career is marked by innovation, a commitment to addressing social issues, and captivating stage performances. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As the youngest of the Jackson family's ten children, born in 1966, she made her debut on the grand stage of the MGM Grand. Her early years saw her starring in the television series \"The Jacksons\" in 1976 and making appearances on popular shows like \"Good Times,\" \"Diff'rent Strokes,\" and \"Fame\" during the 1970s and early 1980s. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In 1982, she signed a recording contract with A\u0026amp;M Records, setting the stage for her rise to pop icon status. Her third and fourth studio albums, \"Control\" (1986) and \"Rhythm Nation 1814\" (1989), marked turning points in her career. Collaborations with producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis infused her music with elements of rhythm and blues, funk, disco, rap, and industrial beats, leading to crossover success in the mainstream music scene. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In 1991, Jackson signed the first of two record-breaking multimillion-dollar contracts with Virgin Records, establishing her as one of the highest-paid artists in the industry. Her venture into film with a lead role in \"Poetic Justice\" (1993) added another dimension to her career. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Her subsequent studio albums, \"Janet\" (1993) and \"The Velvet Rope\" (1997), saw her evolve into a public symbol of sensuality. These records, complemented by provocative music videos and electrifying live performances, earned her recognition as one of the world's most captivating entertainers, drawing both acclaim and controversy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Despite the challenges stemming from the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show controversy and industry backlash, Janet Jackson displayed resilience. After parting ways with Virgin Records, she released her tenth studio album, \"Discipline\" (2008), under Island Records. In 2015, she joined forces with BMG Rights Management to launch her own record label, Rhythm Nation, and released her eleventh studio album, \"Unbreakable,\" that same year. Her journey as an independent artist continues to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Janet Jackson's impact on the music industry is unquestionable. With over 100 million records sold, her catalog includes chart-toppers like \"Nasty,\" \"Rhythm Nation,\" \"That's the Way Love Goes,\" \"Together Again,\" and \"All for You.\" She holds a remarkable record for the most consecutive top-ten entries on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart by a female artist, with 18 consecutive hits. Furthermore, her album \"Rhythm Nation 1814\" made history by spawning seven commercial singles that peaked within the top five positions on the chart. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Billboard recognized her influence by ranking her as number seven on its list of the Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists in 2008. In 2010, she secured the fifth spot among the \"Top 50 R\u0026amp;B\/Hip-Hop Artists of the Past 25 Years.\" In December 2016, the magazine crowned her as the second most successful dance club artist after Madonna. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Janet Jackson's illustrious career has earned her numerous accolades, including five Grammy Awards, eleven Billboard Music Awards, eleven American Music Awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and eight Guinness World Records entries.

Born on a summer day in 1913, Skelton's legacy would span decades, leaving an enduring mark on the entertainment landscape. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Red Skelton's illustrious career was adorned with numerous prestigious awards and accolades, celebrating his exceptional talents and contributions. In 1952, he earned Emmy Awards for Best Comedy Program and Best Comedian, highlighting his comedic mastery and television excellence. An additional Emmy nomination in 1957 recognized his versatility with a noncomedic performance in Playhouse 90's presentation of \"The Big Slide.\" Skelton and his gifted writers secured yet another Emmy in 1961 for Outstanding Writing Achievement in Comedy, showcasing his remarkable ability to craft humor and captivate audiences. The recognition extended beyond entertainment realms, as he was named an honorary faculty member of Ringling Bros. and Barnum \u0026amp; Bailey Clown College in 1968 and 1969, solidifying his status as a revered clown figure. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Skelton's post-television recognition reached new heights in 1978, when he received the coveted Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globe Awards. This prestigious honor lauded his exceptional contributions to the world of entertainment, a moment marked by his genuine excitement and a memorable standing ovation. Further honors followed as Skelton was presented with the Academy of Television Arts \u0026amp; Sciences' Governor's Award in 1986, a heartfelt acknowledgment that prompted his characteristic humor. The Screen Actors Guild recognized his lasting impact with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 1987, while the Academy of Television Arts \u0026amp; Sciences welcomed him into the Television Hall of Fame in 1988. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As a pioneer in comedy, Skelton's legacy was cemented with induction into the International Clown Hall of Fame in 1989, a testament to his enduring influence on the world of humor. His contributions resonated internationally, as he was bestowed lifetime achievement awards alongside Katharine Hepburn by the American Comedy Awards in the same year. The year 1994 witnessed Skelton's induction into the National Radio Hall of Fame, a fitting tribute to his contributions to the airwaves. With two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, honoring his exceptional radio and television work, Skelton's impact remained etched in entertainment history. His legacy endures through the Red Skelton Museum of American Comedy, preserving his multifaceted talents for generations to come. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e From an early age, Skelton demonstrated an innate talent for comedy and pantomime. At just ten years old, he embarked on a journey of artistic development, joining a traveling medicine show. His formative years were colored by diverse experiences, including time spent on a showboat and a venture into the world of burlesque. The stepping stones of his career path led him to vaudeville in 1934, where his comedic prowess truly began to shine. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A pivotal moment in his career emerged with the creation of the \"Doughnut Dunkers\" pantomime sketch, a collaborative effort with his wife. This marked the turning point that launched his trajectory in vaudeville, radio, and films. Skelton's radio journey commenced in 1937, when he made a guest appearance on The Fleischmann's Yeast Hour. This pivotal moment propelled him into hosting Avalon Time in 1938, solidifying his presence in the radio world. His exceptional ability to craft comedic characters reached new heights as he took the reins of The Raleigh Cigarette Program in 1941. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Skelton's silver screen debut arrived in 1938, sharing the screen with luminaries like Ginger Rogers and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. in Alfred Santell's Having Wonderful Time. Subsequently, he graced numerous musical and comedy films throughout the 1940s and 1950s, earning starring roles in 19 films. Works like Ship Ahoy (1941), I Dood It (1943), Ziegfeld Follies (1946), and The Clown (1953) showcased his diverse talents and contributed to his cinematic legacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While television was still in its infancy, Skelton's ambition propelled him toward this burgeoning medium. The Red Skelton Show premiered on September 30, 1951, on NBC, marking a new chapter in his illustrious career. As the show evolved and flourished, it migrated to CBS in 1954, evolving into The Red Skelton Hour by 1962. Despite the show's popularity and high ratings, it met an untimely end on CBS in 1970, as the network aimed to attract a younger demographic. Skelton's resilience shone through as he took the show to NBC for its final year in 1971. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Beyond the realm of entertainment, Skelton channeled his artistic talents into a parallel career as a painter. Initially a personal hobby, his passion for painting took a transformative turn in 1964 when his wife Georgia convinced him to showcase his clown-themed artwork at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas. The response was resounding, with original pieces and reproductions generating considerable revenue. By his passing in 1997, his artistry had not only earned critical acclaim but also financial success, rivaling his earnings from television. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Skelton's life mission was simple: to bring joy through laughter. His aspirations of embodying the essence of a clown as an all-encompassing entertainer epitomize his dedication to his craft. Over the span of seven decades, he enchanted three generations of Americans with his comedic brilliance. In a testament to his enduring impact, his widow preserved his legacy by donating personal and professional artifacts to Vincennes University. These contributions form an integral part of the Red Skelton Museum of American Comedy, a fitting homage to the man who etched himself into the annals of American entertainment history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Connoisseur of Time Celebrity Collection:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I'm excited to have launched a collection that is composed of 87 watches and clocks owned or worn by 44 iconic celebrities and public figures.
